FAQs: 265/70R17 Tires
Will 265/70R17 fit my truck if I'm on 265/65R17 now?
It's ~3.4% taller, which may affect speedometer and clearance on some trims. We’ll check your wheel specs, suspension, and liners before recommending a change.
Should I choose P-metric or LT for towing?
Frequent/heavy towing or off-road use often benefits from LT (Load Range C/D/E). For daily comfort and efficiency with light loads, P-metric is usually ideal. Always follow your placard requirements.
What tire pressure should I run?
Use the door-placard PSI for your vehicle and tire type. LT tires often require higher PSI to carry the same load—ask us for vehicle-specific guidance.
Which tread type should I pick?
Choose H/T for quiet highway manners, A/T for mixed on/off-road, all-weather (3PMSF) for snow without swapping, or full winter for maximum cold-weather traction.
What wheels work best with 265/70R17?
Most tires are measured on an 8" rim; approved range is typically 7.0"–9.0". We’ll confirm your wheel width/offset for proper sidewall support and clearance.
